i was vanish struck, i was with bob woodward, a very wise, senior reporter. he said, any democrat who think this is president can avoid responsibility for the economy and the second term completely misunderstands the american history. he got away with blaming george w. bush for the first term. this is going to be obama's economy. if it goes sour, it will be his failure when it goes sour. >> i am so glad you brought that up. i was wonder fght white house is thinking, oh, my gosh, what did we just do? they pushed the republicans to the point where now, the market's already reacting, saying we don't like this, we don't like the way this is going. if it's over the fiscal cliff. republicans might take the blame. but at this point, the white house bears responsibility for putting them in the position where their backs are against the wall and boehner had come all that way and they said no. >> the house republicans and the senate republicans don't look at a poll for the next 12 months. the election is in 2014. figure out what you want to go to the american people wi
